The opening reception is Friday, October 6th from 6 to 9 pm. I have attached their site below which shows the show flyer. I am confused, and could find no information if this exhbit lasts longer than the one evening. Sharon, if you could please help us out on this, I'd appreciate it. Anyway, Sharon will have her work there (which we got a peek at some of it...Very fun! Be there or be square!

Ann Loveless:
It was suggested at last night's meeting that we look into Ann Loveless as a speaker for the group. I'm sure it would be open to the general public.
You may have seen her very long piece at the Rosemont show back in April,...started at one end with a photograph on paper (a fiber), and moved on to a quilted forest scene. Beautifully amazing! So, take a look at the web sites below, and we can talk later.

Art Prize, Grand Rapids, MI:
Last night we discussed how wonderful Art Prize is, so I've attached the info. I get the feeling we might have missed it this year, but check it out, and maybe make a note for next year! It sounded like a gallery hop kind of thing.

Fine Art of Fiber at the Chicago Botanical Garden:
This has historically been an epic sort of show. As a matter of fact, this is the show that I first heard of Carol Bryer Fallert,...as a stewardess she'd done an art piece that was the Northern lights from the air. It was beautiful, and one of the first art quilt pieces I'd seen. Our very own Alice will have work there,...beaded of course! You go girl with unmatching shoes and fun ideas! I've attached the website below for your convenience. Note: Parking is VERY expensive, and I believe entry into the show is free. If you are a Morton Arboretum member, parking is free (weekdays parking is $25, $30 on the weekends and holidays! OUCH!!!! Carpool ladies!)

That's all the news that's fit to print!
Hope to see you all at the next meeting, which is on Monday, October 23rd, at 7 pm at the Naperville Art League. $3 will help pay for the room rental. I look forward to seeing the upcoming show. We are fortunate to have so much talent in our little group! Thank you for being members.
